FULL TRANSCRIPT OF POEM

Dear women, I'm sorry.

Dear black people, I'm sorry.

Dear Asian-Americans, dear Native Americans, dear immigrants who come here seeking a better life, I'm sorry.

Dear everyone who isn't a middle or upper-class white boy, I'm sorry.

I have started life in the top of the ladder while you were born on the first rung.

I say now that I would change places with you in an instant, but if given the opportunity, would I?

Probably not.

Because to be honest, being privileged is awesome. I'm not saying that you and me on different rungs of the ladder is how I want it to stay.

I'm not saying that any part of me has for a moment even liked it that way....

That's not any form of poem.
 
Bookmarked.
 

 

I know lots of my race that "Because of my race I can eat at a fancy restaurant without the wait staff expecting me to steal the silverware."

Most fancy restaurants don't have silverware worth stealing. Some of the linens are nice, though. Stealing stuff like a tablecloth is usually problematic. I think Sandy Berger found that out. It didn't go well. Figures. White boy. Old white boy, but white boy anyway. If he'd have asked me, I'd have told him. He didn't ask.
 

While some of what is said in the "poem" that Is true, there are also parts that are Not true, hence it fails in it's purpose.
 

As a mom - this is another example of a mom/dad doing a child's homework LOL. My children would understand that lots of white young men are not born in privilege. They would know that in any part of the world you will find people of all colors living well and of all colors living not well. They will know about homeless veterans of all colors, of CEO's of all colors, of hard working people of all colors. They will know the truth and their poem would be much different. But it would also be THEIR work.
 

Sort of doltish of Sandy, I should say.

Old white men don't have asses anymore. Nobody knows where they go. So when an old white man with no ass walks into a place with no ass, but then walks out with one, people are going to notice.
 

What a beautiful "poem".
 

Calling it now: He's gay and likes black men.
 
Even gay men are being roped into the "privileged" category, the same is going for FTM transgender.
Making ****ty poems is not something exclusive to gay men.

Have you ever seen Feminist "Slam" Poetry before? It's basically exactly like what this kid wrote.

It's all terrible. It's not even poetry.

I'm not calling him gay for writing poetry, I'm calling him gay because of the content and tone of this "poem."

Don't.
It's not that, it's the White male guilt brigade.
They're essentially trying to condition White males into silence on the subjects of race and sex.
 

His assumption that all black people, Asian-Americans, and Native Americans were born disadvantaged is rather insulting.

Who filled his head with this garbage?

If he has cable in his room, it needs to be taken out.

This kid thinks all minorities are seen as thieves. We will chalk it up to his age.

What a load of idiotic, ideological BS this is.

Indoctrination at such a young age too.
This kid learned this in his Jr. High private school.

I wonder if there was any counter argument to it?
Doubtful.

Most certainly indoctrination both by the kids parents and the kids school. Now imagine his one day becoming a Congressman or Senator? Oh wait. It'd be Bernie 2.0, wouldn't it?


Hit the nail right on the head wit this.


All just fpr the school and the kids parents to push their agenda. The kid is just a reflection of what's been programmed into him at this point.
